One of Mani's favorite techniques is creating shadows on his subject. For this editorial, ourassistants wielded x-acto knives and created cucoloris out of foam core. Mani's vision was tohave a dramatic cross of light fall just over the model's eyes. In the studio, our modelCharlie Dupont from NEXT management was the epitome of fierce. Makeup artist,Ann Benjamas, and hair stylist, Anike Rabiu, were the dream beauty team. Of course, no fashioneditorial would be complete without a talented stylist; Laurean Ossorio decked Charlie out in themost extravagant furs and jackets. Light & Shadows was published in the December 2015 issueof Elegant Magazine, check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below!
